If you -want to configure an endnode, then the simplified procedure is as follows: - - o Set the MAC address on your ethernet card before starting _any_ other - network protocols. - -As soon as your network card is brought into the UP state, DECnet should -start working. If you need something more complicated or are unsure how -to set the MAC address, see the next section. Also all configurations which -worked with 2.4 will work under 2.5 with no change. - -3) Command line options - -You can set a DECnet address on the kernel command line for compatibility -with the 2.4 configuration procedure, but in general it's not needed any more. -If you do st a DECnet address on the command line, it has only one purpose -which is that its added to the addresses on the loopback device. - -With 2.4 kernels, DECnet would only recognise addresses as local if they -were added to the loopback device. In 2.5, any local interface address -can be used to loop back to the local machine. Of course this does not -prevent you adding further addresses to the loopback device if you -want to. - -N.B. Since the address list of an interface determines the addresses for -which "hello" messages are sent, if you don't set an address on the loopback -interface then you won't see any entries in /proc/net/neigh for the local -host until such time as you start a connection. This doesn't affect the -operation of the local communications in any other way though. - -The kernel command line takes options looking like the following: - - decnet.addr=1,2 - -the two numbers are the node address 1,2 = 1.2 For 2.2.xx kernels -and early 2.3.xx kernels, you must use a comma when specifying the -DECnet address like this. For more recent 2.3.xx kernels, you may -use almost any character except space, although a `.` would be the most -obvious choice :-) - -There used to be a third number specifying the node type. This option -has gone away in favour of a per interface node type. This is now set -using /proc/sys/net/decnet/conf/<dev>/forwarding. This file can be -set with a single digit, 0=EndNode, 1=L1 Router and 2=L2 Router. - -There are also equivalent options for modules. The node address can -also be set through the /proc/sys/net/decnet/ files, as can other system -parameters. - -Currently the only supported devices are ethernet and ip_gre. The -ethernet address of your ethernet card has to be set according to the DECnet -address of the node in order for it to be autoconfigured (and then appear in -/proc/net/decnet_dev). There is a utility available at the above -FTP sites called dn2ethaddr which can compute the correct ethernet -address to use. The address can be set by ifconfig either before or -at the time the device is brought up. If you are using RedHat you can -add the line: - - MACADDR=AA:00:04:00:03:04 - -or something similar, to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 or -wherever your network card's configuration lives. Setting the MAC address -of your ethernet card to an address starting with "hi-ord" will cause a -DECnet address which matches to be added to the interface (which you can -verify with iproute2). - -The default device for routing can be set through the /proc filesystem -by setting /proc/sys/net/decnet/default_device to the -device you want DECnet to route packets out of when no specific route -is available. Usually this will be eth0, for example: - - echo -n "eth0" >/proc/sys/net/decnet/default_device - -If you don't set the default device, then it will default to the first -ethernet card which has been autoconfigured as described above. You can -confirm that by looking in the default_device file of course. - -There is a list of what the other files under /proc/sys/net/decnet/ do -on the kernel patch web site (shown above). - -4) Run time kernel configuration - -This is either done through the sysctl/proc interface (see the kernel web -pages for details on what the various options do) or through the iproute2 -package in the same way as IPv4/6 configuration is performed. - -Documentation for iproute2 is included with the package, although there is -as yet no specific section on DECnet, most of the features apply to both -IP and DECnet, albeit with DECnet addresses instead of IP addresses and -a reduced functionality. - -If you want to configure a DECnet router you'll need the iproute2 package -since its the _only_ way to add and delete routes currently. Eventually -there will be a routing daemon to send and receive routing messages for -each interface and update the kernel routing tables accordingly. The -routing daemon will use netfilter to listen to routing packets, and -rtnetlink to update the kernels routing tables. - -The DECnet raw socket layer has been removed since it was there purely -for use by the routing daemon which will now use netfilter (a much cleaner -and more generic solution) instead. - -5) How can I tell if its working ? - -Here is a quick guide of what to look for in order to know if your DECnet -kernel subsystem is working. - - - Is the node address set (see /proc/sys/net/decnet/node_address) - - Is the node of the correct type - (see /proc/sys/net/decnet/conf/<dev>/forwarding) - - Is the Ethernet MAC address of each Ethernet card set to match - the DECnet address. If in doubt use the dn2ethaddr utility available - at the ftp archive. - - If the previous two steps are satisfied, and the Ethernet card is up, - you should find that it is listed in /proc/net/decnet_dev and also - that it appears as a directory in /proc/sys/net/decnet/conf/. The - loopback device (lo) should also appear and is required to communicate - within a node. - - If you have any DECnet routers on your network, they should appear - in /proc/net/decnet_neigh, otherwise this file will only contain the - entry for the node itself (if it doesn't check to see if lo is up). - - If you want to send to any node which is not listed in the - /proc/net/decnet_neigh file, you'll need to set the default device - to point to an Ethernet card with connection to a router. This is - again done with the /proc/sys/net/decnet/default_device file. - - Try starting a simple server and client, like the dnping/dnmirror - over the loopback interface. With luck they should communicate. - For this step and those after, you'll need the DECnet library - which can be obtained from the above ftp sites as well as the - actual utilities themselves. - - If this seems to work, then try talking to a node on your local - network, and see if you can obtain the same results. - - At this point you are on your own... :-) - -6) How to send a bug report - -If you've found a bug and want to report it, then there are several things -you can do to help me work out exactly what it is that is wrong. Useful -information (_most_ of which _is_ _essential_) includes: - - - What kernel version are you running ? - - What version of the patch are you running ? - - How far though the above set of tests can you get ? - - What is in the /proc/decnet* files and /proc/sys/net/decnet/* files ? - - Which services are you running ? - - Which client caused the problem ? - - How much data was being transferred ? - - Was the network congested ? - - How can the problem be reproduced ? - - Can you use tcpdump to get a trace ? (N.B. Most (all?) versions of - tcpdump don't understand how to dump DECnet properly, so including - the hex listing of the packet contents is _essential_, usually the -x flag. - You may also need to increase the length grabbed with the -s flag. The - -e flag also provides very useful information (ethernet MAC addresses)) - -7) MAC FAQ - -A quick FAQ on ethernet MAC addresses to explain how Linux and DECnet -interact and how to get the best performance from your hardware. - -Ethernet cards are designed to normally only pass received network frames -to a host computer when they are addressed to it, or to the broadcast address. - -Linux has an interface which allows the setting of extra addresses for -an ethernet card to listen to. If the ethernet card supports it, the -filtering operation will be done in hardware, if not the extra unwanted packets -received will be discarded by the host computer. In the latter case, -significant processor time and bus bandwidth can be used up on a busy -network (see the NAPI documentation for a longer explanation of these -effects). - -DECnet makes use of this interface to allow running DECnet on an ethernet -card which has already been configured using TCP/IP (presumably using the -built in MAC address of the card, as usual) and/or to allow multiple DECnet -addresses on each physical interface. If you do this, be aware that if your -ethernet card doesn't support perfect hashing in its MAC address filter -then your computer will be doing more work than required. Some cards -will simply set themselves into promiscuous mode in order to receive -packets from the DECnet specified addresses. So if you have one of these -cards its better to set the MAC address of the card as described above -to gain the best efficiency. Better still is to use a card which supports -NAPI as well. - - -8) Mailing list - -If you are keen to get involved in development, or want to ask questions -about configuration, or even just report bugs, then there is a mailing -list that you can join, details are at: - -http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=4993 - -9) Legal Info - -The Linux DECnet project team have placed their code under the GPL.
